Mahaiula Bay

Mahaiula Bay is located at Kekaha State Park off Queen Kaahumanu Highway (19) at Kalaoa on the Island of Hawaii and is about two and a half miles from Keahole Airport. Visitors can come to the state park year round from 9am to 7pm seven days a week with plenty of parking available. The white sandy beach of Mahaiula Bay is about 10 minutes from the park's parking area.

The beach here is about a quarter of a mile long and is a popular spot for swimming and snorkelling. Apart from relaxing and sunbathing, tourists can observe the turtles on Mahaiula Beach and enjoy the scenic views. A hiking trail takes visitors four and a half miles from Mahaiula to Kua Bay. Along the way hikers can see a vacant house and plenty of wildlife including goats.

The beach doesn't offer much in the way of facilities although there are two porta potties here. There are restrooms at the park though as well as picnic tables. The island is considered to be the golfing capital of Hawaii and the 18-hole Hualalai Golf Course is less than 10 minutes from the park.
